CAIRO - Egypt's international reserves fell for the second month in February, dropping to $33.3 billion from $35 billion in January following the revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak. "We had expected that the continued flow of capital out of Egypt, in the wake of the political turmoil, would have led to another sharp drop,” said Mohamed Rahmy, a Cairo-based economist at Egyptian investment bank Beltone Financial. “Falls in tourism revenue and the bank's intervention on February 8 to control the depreciating pound against the dollar over its first days of trading would have also compounded the fall.” Egypt's foreign-exchange reserves fell by $1 billion in January, according to data posted on the central bank's website. On Feb. 8, the Egyptian pound strengthened the most against the dollar since November after the central bank acted to slow declines in the currency amid protests demanding Mubarak's ouster. He stepped down on Feb. 11.
